What They Say
“Cowan is by far the best firm we’ve worked with and Jonathan Z. King is the principal reason. . . .In [one] case . . . the company threw a ton of money and resources against us, with a large trial team . . . but Jonny simply ripped them apart with his courtroom abilities and his sharp analysis of trademark law supporting our case. He’s so smart and really understands our business, but is also incredibly unpretentious and down-to-earth.”
2018 Law.com“The team acts very quickly and accurately at the same time. In addition, they are 100 percent reliable. They provide extremely comprehensive, but always very comprehensible, advice, and act in a particularly circumspect manner when doing so.”
2021 The Legal 500“The team at Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman is fabulous. They are such special people. They have a unique way of maintaining relationships with their clients and their international network – they know also how important their international network is in order to be good for their client and therefore cherish this network. It is one of the nicest firms I have every worked with. It is just like family, but still all very high-end in terms of quality. They send us work, but we also send them work. Both ways it works!”
